Benchmade Mini Crooked River vs full size Knife Review. Their best EDC blade yet?

Despite only have the knife for a few days I think the new Mini Crooked River from Benchmade is one of their best every day carry knives. In this review I compare it to the full size version, the Bugout, the 765, the Mini Griptilian, The Spyderco Para Military 2, and the classic 940-1. Plus for baton fetishists, there's that too. You can buy it at a lot of places soon, but I really tried to be the first review on KZbin. No I didn't steal it.

[@stevekreutzer4104]

1st time I've watched one of your videos.... I have to say, this is the best commentary out of the 1000s of review videos I've watched on KZbin over the years. Love the honesty, sarcasm, and how you call out the keyboard warriors that make idiotic comments on your content. I'll 100% be a long-time viewer/subscriber. Congrats of your success (almost 100k subscribers at the moment). Don't ever change!

[@PurpleGhillesuit]

I want you to keep saying “tallness”

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ima gonna!

[@kenfair8178]

Shouldn’t the Mini Crooked River just been called the Crooked Creek? Also I’m officially requesting more stuffed animal mutilations as part of your reviews. Including the flashlight reviews. k thanks

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I actually forgot to hit record and had to mutilate it twice. Good thing I didn't do it all the way the first time! I then burned it in the fire afterward... although I didn't include that to keep from alerting the EPA. You shoulda seen the black smoke.

[@mythrol]

Omg. That stuffed animal moment was awesome! I wasn't expecting it at all. Well done.

[@jaimecobos2000]

Great review! Sounds like it's your new favorite-ish Benchmade!

[@BornIn1500]

Definitely the best looking Benchmade. That being said, do they mean it's mini crooked to the right or mini crooked to the left? Because I may have a legal case here since I've had mini crooked to the left for 33 years...ish

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Good point. They new what they were doing by also giving it the clip.

[@nickmiller3796]

Love the knife, hate the price. Would buy it around $100-ish.

How's the knife after 6 months? Still your favorite? Looking to buy this or a Bugout, or maybe a G10 griptillian. Don't know yet.

[@moparlover55]

Can anybody let me know what other Benchmade knives use the same screws as the mini crooked river ? Or what is the exact size of the screws used in the mini ?

[@samdungan03]

Hey how do you feel about the mini crooked river now? I purchased it a few weeks ago and I like it a lot.

[@BradGryphonn]

I bought one of these last week (the embiggened one with the Dymondwood handle). I've worn it in and I am really liking it. I still pine for my old Buck Alpha Hunter folder with the guthook though. But wow, this is a smooth folding knife. (Edit) Oh, $355 AUD here in Kangaroo country. (2nd edit) I bought this one because I wanted another big folder...and I have wide hands...and it has wooden handles...and a clip point...and stuff. The Orange is slowly getting accepted after my initial "fuck that's bright" thought. It's actually a bit dirty now, so all good.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Jeeze, and I thought they were expensive here!

[@My03Tundra]

Is it wrong to love a knife more than most people? Absolutely not. Almost twenty years of working in customer service will attest to this. I have knives I love more that my own brothers, like my Leatherman Rebar. It has done more to help me by far than one of my own brothers. Also, this review alone has earned you a new subscriber. Very informative, detailed, humorous, and you even acknowledge fan comments or heckling in the video. Well done and well played. Right now, I’d love to own a customized Crooked River or Crooked River Mini. I know my financial future is going to improve enough so I can get many other knives, too. As soon as I can get this Richard Nixon mask on. It is itchy, and smells like it has been used as Keith Richards’ jock strap.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Glad you liked it man, thanks a lot! Rob them banks!

Hi, can you recommend a pocket knife for my 20 yo Son serving in the Australian Infantry regiment. I’m overwhelmed with the choice. I got to your channel via Buck 110 but now realise it’s outdated but I liked the traditional look. The crooked river seems good. What do you think?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

crooked river is very nice, buck knives are nice too the standard 110 is a bit heavy and needs to be carried in a sheath- but there are lighter variations.

[@flythesky3000]

Very witty and an excellent review. No gratuitous swearing this time. I will order mine right now!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@thomassylvia4773]

Just bought this knife and waiting for it to get delivered. I’ve been looking to buy a new pocket knife for awhile now and I just couldn’t pull the trigger on any of them until I saw this knife. After reading reviews and watching a video about the “MCR” I was sold. This is my second benchmade, my first I bought 20 years ago and probably lost it within a month of owning it since I was 17 and reckless. I can’t wait to get this thing especially after watching this video. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@BradGryphonn]

Nope, changed my mind if anyone saw this before I edited it. I want that early production run mini. That's cool.

I like it just fine. They’re springy and durable... I don’t care about it not being deep carry.

[@SteveKluver]

Advanced Knife Bro ok. Thanks. I just love the BM deep carry clip so much, that I've now switched them all over. I'm even surprised now, when I see this 'old' clip, come installed on new BM models.

[@brettjensen994]

Is that a WAY offcenter grind shown at 1:31? I know this vid is old, but I'd like to know because I'm picking my next knife and I want to go up a class or 5 in quality (from the $40ish import gerbers from walmart) and am considering a mini crooked river or 940. Shouldn't you get a better final grind then that on a approx $200 knife? Unless that's a trick of the camera I would be disappointed with a grind like that on a $40 knife!

[@keithbeckett1349]

I love how you don't beat about the bush with who buys this knife and what we buy it for lol...(to some extent anyway) Its actually quite refreshing and funny to have a such brutally honest review. "stick out of your pocket...while sitting at your computer desk" xD obviously we do get some use out of our knives for day to day purposes, and you are just clearly poking a little harmless fun, but it is also true for the most part and that's why its funny....and there's nothing wrong with that. I consider a knife like this a work of art that you can just enjoy owning/carrying. The type of people watching these videos are the people who partially (or maybe completely) own knives just as a hobby and not just for pure utility alone. Allot of us ain't hardcore hunters living in the wild, and we don't exactly need to know how well it cuts open an animal as its not something we are going to do. For example, how many rich Ferrari owners are actually getting use out of an engine of that caliber driving to work? They don't need race car speeds...but they want it. A big part of having a knife of this style and quality is just that...for its quality feel and craftsmanship...its nice, cool and fun. And when we do need to cut something...it does the job perfectly. (even if a cheaper 440c knife would have done the job just as well). The same way most of us don't need more than one knife...but like hell if we ain't gonna own a couple right ?

[@grumpyoldwizard]

Man, that is one sweet looking folder. If I had the money I would certainly purchase one. I have a 941 I purchased about 10 years ago and I sure do love it. It is a real beauty of a knife also.

[@thekingisdead6411]

Can't wait for that BLF GT review. Do you plan an Emisar D4 review? edit - or D1 or D1s?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

D4, BLF GT and Zebralight SC600 mkIV are my current reviews planned. Much more than that no- no others are on a list or being considered. I have already reviewed the best EDCs, throwers, and flooders... so I don't see a lot more that interest me.

[@thechugdude]

I almost picked the big one up at a Bass pro shop one time. I really liked the feel and look. Also Cold Steels 2018 lineup looks super weak. It almost seems like they're going out of business.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The only one that interests me is that lightweight one that retails $300. Too much for me.

[@thechugdude]

[@YesterdayMeetsToday]

I think they hit the sweet spot with this one. Classy looking blade and sized appropriately for EDC. I noticed Benchmade has a neck knife coming out called the 101 that looks interesting. I got a CRKT minimalist for Xmas and for some reason have an affection for neck knives now. Rock on Knife Bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

This knife hits all the sweet spots... light, decent blade size, long enough comfortable handle, and the clip point works well in an every day carry setting.

[@conductorcammon]

I like the full size. Hunting style knives really appeal to me. Not so "scary" looking when you pull it out either. Reminds me of the gerber gator, only better. I like the grip on the gator though.

This video is 9 months old now. Is the mini crooked river still your favorite? I handled the full size and mini at Cabela's yesterday. Couldn't decide which I like best because I felt like I might miss out on something not getting the big one. I'd like to see you review the new Benchmade Grizzly Ridge. Nice looking knife.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I like the fact better. However there is nothing wrong with this one- and its probably more practical. I have carried the full size much less... too big for work and in the pocket. If you’re outside a lot- and don’t mind a big knife in the pocket get the full size- if you need more practical knife and use it around people a lot- go with the mini.

[@alittleolder]

Great Review. Fantastic Script. Well performed. You reviewed have to be viewed a bit differently than most others. Hope you're having an awesome day.

Great review I'm glad I didn't order the 940 I'd be pretty up set at this point I thought I'd get the grizzly ridge for price but it's bigger and has a recurve I don't wanna deal with.

[@batman19763]

Love video just ordered this for my first Benchmade

[@billcox3688]

Should I send my knife back for either a replacement or a solid tuning? Just got the knife, and need some advice. The knife has what apparently are expected flaws from Benchmade. The blade was off-center, but worse, after playing with it for a day, it centered, and then after another day it was off center again, and today, it is centered. I'm going to have to stop looking at that or it will drive me nuts. The gap between the dymondwood and aluminum is not only visible, but uneven: it grows from 0 on one side to maybe 0.5mm on the other, not quite enough to fit a fingernail. However, the scarry flaw is this: The scales are not properly attached to the handle. When I got it, if I squeezed the knife handle, it squeeked, so I was going to send it back, but after a day of playing with it, the squeaking stopped. The scales still are not attacked properly: I've never bought a $5 pocket kife with loose scales. If I rub my finger over the gap between the aluminum and dymondwood, I feel a bump on the wood side, but if I press down on the middle of the scale, that bump goes away. The scales are not laminated to the handle. They're not even screwed to the handle. I like this knife a lot! Should I just accept that Benchmade makes nice knives like this with some somewhat scary flaws, or should I demand a replacement?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

By all means send it back- if your knife doesn’t work properly.
